Why Everyone’s Still Talking About Star Wars Battlefront
There’s Nothing Quite Like It
Battlefront 2was released in 2017, and at the time, the game sparked a lot ofcontroversy for its loot box system, which even led toBattlefront 2’s design director, Dennis Brannvall, saying developer DICE"hit rock bottom,“after the negative blowback from the fans' harsh criticsm at the way the loot boxes were implemented. DICE did go on to try and right the wrongs of the game created, but it was too little, too late for a lot of fans. Now, retrospectively, the game seems to be peaking with almost as much interest as it did at its initial release.
Publisher Electronic Arts and DICE ceased development onBattlefront 2in 2020, but the game’s most dedicated players created a lot ofmods that should have been official featuresand additions to the game. TheStar Wars: Battlefront Classic Collectionwas released to overwhelmingly negative fan responses, but ironically,it might have sparked new interest inBattlefront, leaving a lot of players to go back and play the modernBattlefrontgames. Coupled with the successes of severalStar WarsTV series, a lot of fans seem to want a multiplayerStar Warsexperience right now.
This Steam Sale Has Come At The Right Time
Renewed Interest In Battlefront To Beat The Summer Heat
A lot of fans have booted upBattlefront 2since May the Fourth and are discovering thatBattlefront 2is almost a completely different gamein 2025 than when it first released. The pay-to-win loot boxes are gone, the iconic heroes are easier to unlock, and the game’s microtransactions are more scarce. With the Celebration Edition being only a few dollars through this Steam sale, and the game also available on Xbox Game Pass,it might be theStar Warsgame to get players through the scorching summer days.
Battlefront 2always had the bones of a good game, but it was tainted by bad microtransaction practices. Now that those are mostly gone (the ones that affect gameplay anyway), it seems like fans are willing to give the game another go, especially after the disastrousBattlefront Classic Collectionrelease.Battlefront 3was reportedlycanceled due to high licensing costsfor the Star Wars IP, and with DICE currently working onBattlefield 6, it may be a long time before another Battlefront game comes, if ever. But with a lot of players going back toStar Wars: Battlefront 2, maybe the once-thought-impossible dream ofBattlefront 3isn’t as hopeless anymore.
